Penpositive Outclass#199 The “Love My Work’ WeekThere was a 2019 book by Marcus Buckingham ‘Nine Lies About Work’ that he had coauthored with Ashley Goodall.. I highly recommend you all to read it….

Penpositive Outclass#198 The Great ResignationTwo days back as part of the Penpositive Journal on the Penpositive YouTube channel... I did a video on The Great Resignation... some personal thoughts... I did not have any intention of repeating the same thing here.. but it was interesting to note some comments that came on my Social media Channels and I thought there is more to this than just a video..

Penpositive Outclass#161 Active Learning at PenpositiveActive Learning is a process I define as a very engaging intentional focussed form of learning which then would manifest in such a way that every act of consumption will result in some form of learning. In my opinion this becomes ever more important in current times when mindless content consumption can drain us all the beauty of life and that content fatigue becomes a never ending process.

Penpositive Outclass#127 Our Relationship with workThe question is becoming even more relevant with time. May be it is because there is choice. In olden days the choice was non existent for a majority of people. The elite always had choices. That is why we see that when the masses toiled in fields and factories… the elites dabbled on poetry and philosophy. Things have changed.

Penpositive Outclass#16 Poetry in Corporate LifeDay 4 of 30 Day Podcasting Challenge. Today I wanted to share with you some ideas I toyed on a few years back... bringing Poetry into the Corporate sector... Rather than the business value of it I was trying to bring something from my life on to my work and see if they can mix well. Sharing with you that idea and a blog post that I wrote back then.

Penpositive Outclass#13 A 30 Day Challenge begins Today!I love 30 day challenges that help you push yourself on doing something. It gives you an opportunity to try something consistently. I do a few of these every year. And today I am starting a 30 Day Challenge for Podcasts. The goal is to make podcasting a habit and natural. Not perfect but consistent and daily for the next 30 days.
